From 1f9edb7c4a393a6ebe78e6f98e46515ad655cece Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aleksei Lipniagov Date: Fri, 2 Aug 2019 09:04:32 +0000 Subject: Call `GC::Profiler.clear` only in one place Previously, both InfluxSampler and RubySampler were relying on the `GC::Profiler.total_time` data which is the sum over the list of captured GC events. Also, both samplers asynchronously called `GC::Profiler.clear` which led to incorrect metric data because each sampler has the wrong assumption it is the only object who calls `GC::Profiler.clear` and thus could rely on the gathered results between such calls. We should ensure that `GC::Profiler.total_time` is called only in one place making it possible to rely on accumulated data between such wipes. Also, we need to track the amount of profiler reports we lost. --- .../63571-fix-gc-profiler-data-being-wiped.yml | 5 +++++ config/initializers/peek.rb | 7 ++++++- lib/gitlab/metrics/samplers/influx_sampler.rb | 22 --------------------- lib/gitlab/metrics/samplers/ruby_sampler.rb | 23 ++++++++++++++++------ .../gitlab/metrics/samplers/influx_sampler_spec.rb | 20 ------------------- .../gitlab/metrics/samplers/ruby_sampler_spec.rb | 20 +++++++++++++++---- 6 files changed, 44 insertions(+), 53 deletions(-) create mode 100644 changelogs/unreleased/63571-fix-gc-profiler-data-being-wiped.yml diff --git a/changelogs/unreleased/63571-fix-gc-profiler-data-being-wiped.yml b/changelogs/unreleased/63571-fix-gc-profiler-data-being-wiped.yml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..7943d9573f3 --- /dev/null +++ b/changelogs/unreleased/63571-fix-gc-profiler-data-being-wiped.yml @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +--- +title: Fix GC::Profiler metrics fetching +merge_request: 31331 +author: +type: fixed diff --git a/config/initializers/peek.rb b/config/initializers/peek.rb index 4a2b7931f30..b6c7f1ff4fc 100644 --- a/config/initializers/peek.rb +++ b/config/initializers/peek.rb @@ -9,5 +9,10 @@ Peek.into Peek::Views::ActiveRecord Peek.into Peek::Views::Gitaly Peek.into Peek::Views::RedisDetailed Peek.into Peek::Views::Rugged -Peek.into Peek::Views::GC + +# `Peek::Views::GC` is currently disabled in production, as it runs with every request +# even if PerformanceBar is inactive and clears `GC::Profiler` reports we need for metrics. +# Check https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/65455 +Peek.into Peek::Views::GC if Rails.env.development? + Peek.into Peek::Views::Tracing if Labkit::Tracing.tracing_url_enabled? diff --git a/lib/gitlab/metrics/samplers/influx_sampler.rb b/lib/gitlab/metrics/samplers/influx_sampler.rb index 5138b37f83e..1eae0a7bf45 100644 --- a/lib/gitlab/metrics/samplers/influx_sampler.rb +++ b/lib/gitlab/metrics/samplers/influx_sampler.rb @@ -15,19 +15,14 @@ module Gitlab @last_step = nil @metrics = [] - - @last_minor_gc = Delta.new(GC.stat[:minor_gc_count]) - @last_major_gc = Delta.new(GC.stat[:major_gc_count]) end def sample sample_memory_usage sample_file_descriptors - sample_gc flush ensure - GC::Profiler.clear @metrics.clear end @@ -43,23 +38,6 @@ module Gitlab add_metric('file_descriptors', value: System.file_descriptor_count) end - def sample_gc - time = GC::Profiler.total_time * 1000.0 - stats = GC.stat.merge(total_time: time) - - # We want the difference of GC runs compared to the last sample, not the - # total amount since the process started. - stats[:minor_gc_count] = - @last_minor_gc.compared_with(stats[:minor_gc_count]) - - stats[:major_gc_count] = - @last_major_gc.compared_with(stats[:major_gc_count]) - - stats[:count] = stats[:minor_gc_count] + stats[:major_gc_count] - - add_metric('gc_statistics', stats) - end - def add_metric(series, values, tags = {}) prefix = sidekiq? ?
